Heaven's House, Panoramic Views of the Pacific & Rainforest

Villa Cielo was absolutely amazing! The pictures don’t do it any justice! We selected Villa Cielo for our wedding guest and everyone was blown away from the moment they stepped in the door. The view is to die for overlooking the mountains and ocean. Catherine was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. I literally felt like I had a friend the whole time I was planning my wedding,lol. She kept me calm and gave me great advice about Costa Rica and planning my wedding. Antonio and the whole team were so helpful and a pleasure to work with as well for setting up all the excursions. Chef Christopher was an absolute sweetheart preparing a delicious feast for our welcome party. I just can’t say enough about our stay! We will absolutely be returning when we travel back to Costa Rica and everyone agrees we will be staying at Villa Cielo! Thank you so much Catherine!

We had a good size group and came here for a bachelor party in April of 2019. The house is awesome and we had a great time. Catherine and Antontio were incredibly helpful and made sure our trip went very smoothly (and that we got to do everything we wanted to do). I would highly recommend staying here.

First off the house is fantastic. It is as beautiful as pictured if not more so. The staff was impeccable. They come when you want and go when you want. The maids were nothing short of perfect and the security staff as well. When anything went a little astray Cathrine and Angelo were there to fix it ASAP. We felt safe 100% of the time and didn’t even lock our doors. They can stock the house with whatever you choose and get it all done behind the scenes. They arrange shuttles for you and it truly is a 5 star experience. I highly reccomend this property when traveling to Jaco or Playa Hermosa. It seems a little far away at first but ends up being the perfect distance away from Jaco so you can relax or party in privacy. 5 stars for the entire team. A job well done. We had 16 guests and never had an issue.

great place

The home was definitely as advertised! Five of my buddies and myself enjoyed the accommodations. We each had our own room with full bathroom. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed to prepare our meals. Catherine made sure to be in contact before and for the most part during the trip. The security staff, José and Josué, were helpful and always checking the grounds. We never worried about our safety nor our possessions when we were gone. Daily cleaning service was provided as well as laundry if we needed for our clothes. Antonio helped to setup a couple of excursions for us as well. This was all of our first time in Costa Rica/Jacó and we'd definitely return to the area and house.

The only thing that kept me from providing 5 stars was our experience with the chef on the first night we arrived. Catherine provided menu options for us and I chose the seafood paella with appetizer and dessert. The chef forgot the appetizer and gave a different pie for dessert that 4 of the 6 didn't like. He ran out to get the food for the appetizer but didn't replace the pie. The paella was okay. When he presented the bill for the food, we feel he grossly overcharged us for the purchase of seafood. Jacó is on the ocean and we're all originally from Florida. We know the difference in pricing of seafood for coastal areas v. inland ones. I don't necessarily fault Catherine on this but it certainly didn't get us off to a good start. If utilizing the chef, I might suggest doing your own shopping and just paying for his services.

That was the only negative of a wonderful stay at a great home with a fantastic view. Hopefully, if you're lucky, the toucans, macaws, iguanas and monkeys will pay you on a visit on your stay as well!!
